"During the last two years IL Is eStlmateQ
that between twelve and fifteen thousand
people have permanently settled in Omaha
each year, so that its present population is
between 10000 and 100, 600, and the state has
unquestionably at this time a population of
one million"
"lNhat is the reason for this great in
creasea"
@1his phenomenal growth" replied Senator
Henderson, "may be mainly attributed to
the fact that the 76, 600 square miles of area in
Nebraska contained the largest proportionate
amount of rich agricultural lands of any
state in the Union. Its fertility is Won
derful, and the ease with which the farmer
can raise the products OF the soil is one
of the inducements to the large immigration.
Another great advantage has been the cheap
ness OF the land and the ease with which it
could be obtained under the land laws, and
the long terms of payment offered by the rail-
way companies, which had secured large land
grants. These things prompted large num-
bers of people to come into the state, and in
point of intelligence and general average OF
wealth we have in Nebraska wonderful
amount of prosperity We have immense re-
sources for new state The towns and vii
lages are numerous, populous and aourishing
based on solid merit backed up by rich and
large areas Of good lands. Thecity OF Omaha
depends, of course. largely upon the state, OF
which it is the metropolis, for its prosperity;
but for twenty years it has held ifs own as
the largest town in the three great states OF
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. Its wholesale
trade-and it has numerous and well estah-
llshed houses in all branches OF commercial
traffic reaches western Iowa. Kansas, Colo
rado, the territories OF Idaho. Dakota, Wy
oming and Utah, and, Of course. it covers
Nebraska

in the National Stockman and Farmer:
"The trade in horses here is booming,
and almost every one is raising them. The
annual fall meeting of the Vermont asso-
citation of road and trotting horse breeders
will be held at Rutland September :, S and
3. There is very large list of entries,
and this will no doubt be the largest show
of horses ever seen in Vermont.
There is very little doing in cattle here.
Many farmers are extensively engaged in
dairying, but it is not proving very pay
ing investment, The public creameries
are being well patronized but they seem
TO be wanting in public favor.
The sheep trade is quiet at present, al
though the outlook for a good trade this
fall is promising. There are several large
lots of lambs being bought up for the west
ern trade, which will leave here about Sep
TENDER /, Vermont has now made five ship
ments of sheep TO South America three
this season, and two last. The first to leave
this year were Wright x Witherell; then
followed Eells x Jennings, and lastly Dim
mick & Close, an interval of two weeks in
tervening between the shipment of each
party. The animals purchased by these
gentlemen were Of the highest order of ex-

The Rcc,. s,inr a U.efuI Tool.

A new champion has arisen to defend the
honey bee from the obloquy under which
it has always rested. Mr.. VIM. f. Clarke,
of Canada, claims to have discovered, from
repeated observations, that the most i'm
portant function of the bees sting is not
singing In a recent article he says:
My observations and reflections have con.
WINGED me that the most important Office of
the bee sting is that which is performed in
doing the artistic cell work, Gaping the
comb, and infusing the formic acid by
means of which honey receives its keeping
qualities As | said at Detroit, the sting is
really a skillfully contrived little trowel,
with which the bee finishes off and caps
the cells when they are brimful of honey.
This explains why honey extracted before
it is capped over does not keep well. The
formic acid has not been injected into it.
This is done in the very act of putting the
last touches on the cell work. As the phi
ant trowel is worked to and fro with such
dexterity, the darts, of which there are
two, pierce the plastic cell surface and
leave in the nectar beneath it tiny drops OF
the fluid which make it keep we'll This is
the art preventative of honey A most
wonderful provision of nature, truly
Herein we see that the sting and the poi
son-bag, with which so many of us would
like to dispense are essential to the stor
age of our coveted product, and that with
out them the beautiful comb honey of com
merce would be a thing unknown.

The American Varieties.

Fowls of American origin have pecul-
iarty about them in spite of the fact that
much of the blood in their veins comes
from foreign stock. Take, for instance,
the Plymouth Rock. No general-purpose
fowl that could compare with them existed
before their introduction. Here we have a
clean-cut business bird, no nonsense or SUI
perfluous "hub -dubsn about him. He hash I
got a ''top-not' or whiskers or five toes
and he doesn't need them. He has got the
proper shape, smooth legs, richly tinted
skin, and sweet meat, that form the Yam
KEGS ideal table fowl. The same may be
said of the Wyandottes. They were made
by Americans, for Americans, because there
was demand for such fowl, and in thi.
country when demand exists an untirine
and usually successful effort is made to fill
it, American breeds are the hardest il
our climate unless killed by in-breeding
They stand extreme hot weather better
than Asatics and extreme cold better thar
non-sitters They are completely acclimat
ed and under equal care will succeed bet
ter than any other for general all-arounC
use where fowl for both meat and eggs il
desired. -Ohio Poultry journal.

The Western Rural puts it about right
when it says that, "for all practical pur-
poses, it is sufficient to say that corn is the
most valuable for fattening purposes, and
the other grains usually grown are the
most valuable for the formation of bone
and muscle. There is very little in corn,
of bone and muscle forming elements, and
there is but small proportion of the fat
forming elements in such grains as oats.
If the purpose is the production of milk,
the bone and muscle forming foods are the
most valuable In connection with this
statement it is well to remember that corn
calls for but a small supply of nitrogen in
manure. In Professor Atwater's record of
experiments with corn fertilizers, there
were but few cases where any profit was
realized on the nitrogen compounds applied
to this crop. Corn supplies fat and starch
quite literally, but contains only about ten
per cent of proteine, equivalent to one and
one-half of one per cent nitrogen. Wheat
bran contains about fifteen per cent of pro
teine middlings seventeen per cent, cot
tonseed meal forty-two per cent. The study
of feeding stuifs, and a knowledge of theii
comparative values, are becoming more
and more part of the education of every
man who makes farming business.

Amint About En.iInge.

According to experiments made by Prof,
Whitcher, of the New Hampshire state col
lege, 10 tons of field corn, of the common
northern varieties, contain more nutriment
than % tons of the succulent southern va
rieties of corn usually grown for ensilage.
The former as' well as the latter may be
grown ON an acre. The writer of this early
suggested that experiments should be made
TO determine the real feeding values of the
different kinds of corn when ensilaged
But all have gone wild on the big varieties
and Prof. Whitchers experiment is the
first one made in that direction that has
come under the writer's observation. Their,
is little sense in handling extra weight anC
bulk TO secure the same nutriment, and Ia
little sense in taxing the digestive organs O
the COW for the same purpose.

Increasing Number aud value of

A rapid increase has taken place of late
years in the number of cattle in the coun-
try, aud in the greatly increased value Of
these in the aggregate owing TO the added
quality through crossing up with the better
breeds. 1t is not generally understood that
an increase in the numbers and value of
horses has been accrung, quite equal in de-
gree 10 that of cattle In 1910 there were,
in all the states, about 5000, 600 horses,
and we remember quite clearly that very
good horses, matured for work aud for or
binary driving, could be bought for SIS to
SSj-SlO0 being considered fair price for
an extra good one. What was true of the
prices then, held true for good many
years During the ten years from 1910 to
TO 1850 the increase was about one million
and a third, and during the next ten years,
viz. to 1860, about two and a quarter mill
ions, the prices gradually advancing as the
numbers increased The war destroyed
large numbers yet in 1870, five years after
the close Of the war, there were over T.,
600, 600 horses in the country, and in 1850
over 10. 600 900, with decided increase in
the selling values. During the earlier years
named there were no trotting stations
worth naming in the country, with which
TO enhance values by crossing up, yet ma
duced through the use of thoroughbred
stations, and grades from these, bred in ev-
cry conceivable manner, perhaps the most
popular sires among farmers generally be
ing horses of good, smooth make, weighing
I 100 to |, 200 and sometimes above these
figures.
Most stations in use during the earlier
years named were claimed to possess the
blood Of the earlier noted turf horses, and
they were quoted as commonly as noted
trotters or draft horses are quoted now by
owners of stations whose services are,
from year TO year, offered TO the farmers
Horses of the kind that sold slow 35 or 40
years ago at $40 to 800 can not now, even
under the pressure of dull times, be bought
for less than 1925 to $40 They are no
better, no larger, nor do they go any fast
er, yet the business of the country is more
complicated There is large increase in
the number and variety of articles to be
moved, and notwithstanding the immense
travel by rail, the driving horse is one of
the leading luxuries of the hour, and will
so remain, commanding, in common with
all approved specimens of the best breeds,
prices quite remunerative.
